Molecular dipole moments and Pauli repulsion govern work function changes at organic-metal interfaces. This study clarifies interface dipole origins for CH3S and (CH3S)2 on Au(111).

Area of Science:

  • Surface Science
  • Materials Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Understanding organic-metal interfaces is crucial for organic electronics.
  • Work function change (Deltaphi) at these interfaces is influenced by molecular properties.
  • The specific contributions of molecular dipole moment, charge transfer, and Pauli repulsion require detailed investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the roles of molecular dipole moment, charge transfer, and Pauli repulsion in determining work function change (Deltaphi).
  • To compare experimental and theoretical findings for CH3S/Au(111) and (CH3S)2/Au(111) interfaces.
  • To determine the origin of the interface dipole layer for both molecular phases.

Main Methods:

  • Combined experimental and theoretical study.

  • Investigation of CH3S/Au(111) and (CH3S)2/Au(111) systems.
  • Analysis of work function change (Deltaphi) and interface dipole layer formation.

    • Main Results:

    • For CH3S/Au(111), Deltaphi is primarily due to the CH3S layer's molecular dipole moment.
    • For (CH3S)2/Au(111), a significant Pauli repulsion mechanism contributes to Deltaphi.
    • Experimental and theoretical comparisons successfully identified the origins of interface dipoles.

    Conclusions:

    • The origin of interface dipole layers at organic-metal interfaces depends on the adsorbed molecule's phase and interaction.
    • Molecular dipole moments dominate for weakly adsorbed species (CH3S/Au(111)).
    • Pauli repulsion becomes important for more strongly interacting or condensed phases ((CH3S)2/Au(111)), impacting Deltaphi.
